On Friday the 22nd of July, Kilbride GFC held a golf classic in Hollystown Golf Club to coincide with the annual Paddy Clarke Memorial. Both the golf and the evening proved a huge success and a good time was had by all. Jason Sheehy and his dream team staged a late rally to claim the winners title. Veteran player David Cully and PRO Anne Farrell were award winners as part of the Paddy Clarke Memorial as great servants of the club over many years.

Unfortunately, there was no picture taken of Brian White in his "MC Hammer" trousers. David Harford and Cormac Holland also were the winners of a high stakes bet with Eamonn Clarke and apparently have not been paid yet. Mayo man Cormac Holland worked hard to earn the title of "appearing in most photos". Robbie Bruton made a great debut, ripping up the course - literally. Kevin Quinn, David Barron, Joe Barron and Niall Farrelly provided the style, Kevin Mulligan escaped without injury, while Andy Rennicks did 100 pressups for each bad shot.

Here are some of the highlights :

After the performance on Friday some lad ( who will remain anonymous ) has decided enough is enough..The inability to use this beautiful beast has forced the owner to sell.... Nearest offer secures,... Any reasonable offer considered... hardly used..

If you look close enough to Jason's left hand - he is counting the number
of great footballers in Mayo.

Sorry Cormac, who won that one.........
While Fro... sorry Finbarr tries to laugh off suggestions of a secret nickname

Self Styled leader of Kilbride Brian "Skippy" White has to leave
slightly early as he gets his orders from the boss, much to the
amusement of the boys who are allowed to stay later.
